Back in August using Bug Labs Release 1.4.1, Simon Lewis and I got his Bug Labs bug identicon app that generates identicons based on GPS coordinates to work. Unfortunately that used the Bug Labs synchronous API i.e. polling which runs down the battery. The working version is 1.0.3 and you can see the output of 1.0.3 in the video above.

It's still broken in Bug Labs Release 1.4.2 Full yak shaving details after the jump!

So the next step was to try the asychronous API. It didn't work. The Concierge component framework would crash:

Framework restarted in 7.075 seconds.

So I had high hopes for the recently introduced Bug Labs Release 1.4.2. I hoped that the asynchronous API would be fixed. Based on the 1.4.2 release notes, I didn't think it was fixed and today I am blogging this to confirm it's still broken in 1.4.2 Instead of a crash with a nice traceback, I now just get signal 11 with no traceback:
